NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. retailer Walmart Inc (WMT.N) faced an outcry from supporters of President Donald Trump on Tuesday for listing for sale on its open marketplace clothing with the slogan “Impeach 45,” an apparent reference to Trump, the country’s 45th president.

The hashtag #BoycottWalmart was among the top-trending topics in the United States on the social media site, racking up more than 50,000 tweets by mid-afternoon.

“Absolutely disgusting Walmart! No other president has ever been treated like this. I will not be shopping at Walmart. #BoycottWalmart,” wrote Twitter user MarLee (@Mar_Lee_C).
